that's got 25Wh after about an hour, with some mix of sunny/cloudy/raining, and it seems to be ranging from 10/20W when cloudy to 37W in sun (100W panel, pack should allow up to 60W, exposure is not great.)
@enobacon our utility, #XcelEnergy, lobbied the Minnesota legislature/PUC to end the state's very successful community solar garden program. It was replaced with:
ratepayers can pay Xcel to make extra renewable power ("Renewable*Connect "). It is unclear to me if this actually increases Xcel's solar production, or if they would have just produced the minimum required by the state, with or without my bribe.
joining a solar garden via a new State of MN program... only available to low income residents... who are coincidentally unlikely to invest in solar
And that's not all! I tried bribing Xcel to make more solar and... I've been wait listed for a year. They won't even let me join.
@NewNordicNormal have you heard the good news about municipally-owned power generation? At least our community solar program is effectively a discount, even if PGE is still privately owned (for now)
